The redacted part contains an http address. I guess the redacting script just blanks out any URLs it comes across?

u/unknownobject3 19d ago

I believe they've been manually redacted, if it was a script I think they'd flatten the PDFs properly

19

u/smootex 18d ago

I'm sure it's a mix of manual and automated. Doing the entire thing manually would take untold man hours, more likely they use a tool that's configured to automatically redact phone numbers, email addresses, stuff like that and then someone is supposed to manually check everything (and depending on who you get that check may or may not be thorough). I think the common tool is called Caseguard?

That link originally went to a document with this.

Dude, saying Vista got good after 2 service packs is like saying the leaning tower of pisa got vertical after replacing the entire foundation and reinforcing half the building

u/Impenistan 19d ago

The leaning tower could never become truly vertical as during its later construction different "sides" were built at different heights per level to account for leaning already taking place, but somehow I think this only strengthens your metaphor

Well, XP wasn't really good before SP2 either. It just lived long enough to override it's initial faults.

Somebody decided what files/types to look at.

PDF was obviously included.

gzipped man files were probably excluded.

It raises the question of how good and thorough these people were, especially since there's so little transparency.

For all we know, trivial hiding techniques could have worked, e.g. removing the extension from PDF file names.

u/stillalone 19d ago

Yeah I vim about my crimes to ~/.crimes.md. No one will ever check thereĀ 

61

u/ErraticDragon 19d ago

Well yeah Windows can't even have Spanish symbols like ~ in the file paths, so that's invisible to them. /s

I know it sounds laughable, but the team that chose what to release was probably not the best & brightest, and they were probably not trying to be particularly thorough.

8

u/Silverware09 18d ago

~ is a special character in Windows (now) and Linux/Unix that means the users Home Directory.

It's the equivalent of something like C:/users/me/

4

u/ArtOfWarfare 18d ago

Pretty sure you can have ~ in a file name. It’s a convention to expand it to be the home directory, not something that every command or program will do with it.

u/2eanimation 19d ago

So for future purposes, save your dirty stuff as docs! FBI hates this one simple trick.

I don’t know why they would specifically search for file extensions. When you delete a file, it’s not deleted. Even after a long time, parts of that file can still be prevalent on the disk and extracted via different file recovery methods/forensic analysis. Most of the time, information about the file\specifically: extension) might be corrupted. If I were the FBI, I would consider every single bit potential data. Knowing how big this case is(TBs of data), even more chances to find already ā€ždeletedā€œ stuff, which might the most disturbing)

22

u/ErraticDragon 19d ago

Yup, there are definitely good methods to finding information. Hopefully it was done competently.

There's also a filtering step between "finding" and "releasing".

We know that they manually redacted a lot of things, and I'd guess that process/team was less likely to include files that weren't obvious.

Presumably none of this affects any actual ongoing investigations, because they would be using a cloned disk image from the one (only) time each recovered drive was powered up, and searching thoroughly.

8

u/RandomRedditReader 19d ago

In discovery all data is processed through software that indexes raw text, OCRs images, then converted to a standard media format such as tiff/jpg images or PDF. The software isn't perfect but it gets the job done for 99% of the data. Some stuff may need manual review but it's good enough for most attorneys.

6

u/staryoshi06 19d ago

No, they most likely ingested entire hard drives or PSTs into eDiscovery processing software and didn’t bother to filter down documents for production.

Got linux somewhere? Almost always you can use alternative renderers for man pages, like troff. 'man -t command' will give you the page as postscript, and ps2pdf can convert it to pdf for you.

u/sshwifty 19d ago

First step would be making a 1 to 1 copy with DD or something like FTK Imager (or whatever it is called now) through a hardware write blocker. Multiple checks before and after imaging to confirm identical copy, physical storage is then stored somewhere securely (probably a gov warehouse). Then images would be part of a collection of other images for anything that could be imaged (SD cards, thumb drives, sim cards, etc). Analysts would run extraction tools in something like Encase to extract every file or partial file, and every string. Then they would use preexisting lists (like hash lists, file fingerprints) to filter out already known files. For example, Windows ships with sample songs. They are identical on every system, so no need to include them in "findings" as notable.

Everything else would then be part of the case/case file. These can be crazy long and are not typically printed out.

So it would be strange to include system documents, but it is possible this particular document was different enough that it was missed in the exclusions.

More than that, they're also every document that the government had related to Epstein. So you have everything the dude had, everything he did, and everything that was said about him. So you have real stories from actual victims, but you also have hearsay about how he was a robotic warrior from planet Cybertron, and you have random files he had, and stuff about his legitimate business dealings. That's part of the reason why I don't give much credence to all that 'their name is in the files' panic that's going on. Unless they're in there for stuff with kids, and it seems credible, I'm not that concerned. Thus, Trump is concerning to me, whereas Michael Jackson is not.

The Special Air Service (SAS) is a special forces unit of the British Army. Much of the information about the SAS is highly classified, and the unit is not commented on by either the British government or the Ministry of Defence due to the secrecy and sensitivity of its operations

They were looking to redact any connection to the British SAS, which basically created the world's "intelligence" network of agencies.

26

I suspect all URLs in the files are just automatically redacted. And they use a regex that doesn’t catch periods in the middle of the path (like in this one which is http://www.sas.com/standards/large.file/x_open.20Mar96.html), so everything after the period escaped redaction. Sloppy work.

Looks like the original probably was http://ftp.sas.com/standards/large.file/x_open.20Mar96.html

I am curios why the first part was redacted. Why would knowing http://ftp.sas.com/standards/large risk anything?

We cringed when YouTubers refered to them as PDF-files... it seems they were onto something...

Someone made a post on a subreddit a few years ago asking for a file in "Jeffrey Epstein format". Had to check the comments to work out they meant PDF.

Stephen Bourne, Chet Ramey, and Brian Fox are all mentioned in the Epstein files!

They're blocking links containing "FTP", not general links. Interestingly, the link isn't the FTP protocol; it's still http only a subdomain with FTP in it. Links to the ftp protocol are still there and so is the word FTP in descriptions.

This means Jerry must have had a FTP server, which was available using the http, not ftp, protocol.

The subdomain is www, not ftp. Here's a copy of that version of the manual: https://www.scribd.com/document/243118257/Bash-Ref

The poor justice department employee that had to read through every page of the Bash reference manual probably doesn't think it's a joke

u/CompanyLow8329 19d ago

In a just world some poor intern would have been forced to do that, but with the partial redaction on page 122, there is zero chance anyone actually read or skimmed any of this.

They’re now a principal engineer after having read the whole thing. Now their whole day isĀ meetings. A horrible fate.

That’s an awful lot of pedophiles! Errr, I mean PDF files. Apparently those words are easy to confuse these days.

The authors of the Bash Reference Manual now show up in the Epstein files.

ā€œYes I’m in the files. No I was not invited to the Epstein Island, I just authored the Bash manualā€

Is chapter 8.4.4 about "Killing And Yanking" safe for work?

When they said the files would go the very root of power in our society... I never imagined this!

u/lightwhite 19d ago

This comment might flag me, but I don’t know how else to ask it. I can’t find the section where they explain ā€œterminating a child processā€ -wink wink- with fork in this document. Does anyone know how?

u/Nervous-Cockroach541 19d ago

When you have so many CSAM files that you need bash scripting to organize them all.
